lyrics

Billie was a kid in a ditch hidden in his room
With a knife never satisfied with his life
So he tried a couple of times before

Jamie had a heart but her blood soaked in her eyes
She would despise all the fuck-ups in her fucked up life
We saw that she was kissing pieces of a train
Why did we fall in love with her anyway? Hey

I feel so out of place man
Mother don't scare me, come on resurrect me
You've got lipstick on the plaid
We're dying on Facebook giving birth to the mainframe
Suspicious and excessive corpses in the pain stain (what)

Billie was a nice enough girl
She took drugs in the backseat of her car
In the park in an afternoon shade he was laid
Hand in hand with a beautiful man who was afraid
Of catching tickets from her mother was a car
And her father was a piece of shit
The bed is made, Bonnie Billy's sitting on his next hit

Tell me why we fall in love with people anyway

I feel so out of place man
Mother don't scare me, come on resurrect me
Put on her lipstick on the plaid
We're dying on Facebook giving birth to our space
Sick fuck in a sick world holding to our shitface

I don't know quite why I love you
But I want to touch your face
My name is Harry Potter
Why do I want her anyway?
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who I disgraced
And I want her very badly
Why do I love her anyway?

I feel so out of place here
Mother don't scare me, come on resurrect me
You've got lipstick on the plaid
We're dying on Facebook giving birth to our space
Sick fuck in a sick world holding to our shitface
Suspicious excessive corpses in berets
To be continued...
